Antifa rioters vandalized a U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office during a protest in Berkeley, California on Sunday, smashing the office’s windows as demonstrations raged around them.

In a protest meant to rival a group of far right demonstrators in the city, Antifa drove the action of the day with confrontation. In a couple of tweets compiled by Fox News, images show the group’s members taking hammers to the local marine recruiting office.

Fox notes that 20 people ended the day in handcuffs, with police trying to contain the violence between the two groups.

The group caused damage across the city, according to Fox News:

Besides the damage to the Marine Corps post, Berkeley police also said “an extremist element among a large group” damaged 21 city vehicles, setting one on fire, and slashed their tires. The group also set fires in trash bins, which were extinguished quickly. Officials did not identify the “extremist element.”

Berkeley has been besieged by extremist violence in recent months, with Antifa and far right agitators battling in the city’s streets.
